The functional characteristics of the respiratory gas exchange systems of spiders were evaluated from relationships describing respiratory surface areas, lung volumes, rates of oxygen consumption, and ...

HFNV led to better alveolarization at 3 and 21 d. Long-term HFNV provides acceptable gas exchange at lower inspired O2 levels and respiratory pressures compared to intubation and IMV.

The morphometrics of the respiratory system, voluntary emersion behaviour, and gas exchange during immersion and emersion were examined in the amphibious, intertidal crab Hemigrapsus nudus. The area ...

Frogs' porous skin is also how they drink. "That water is getting into all those spaces in the skin, and is then being ...

The MediPines AGM100 is an FDA-cleared, advanced pulmonary gas exchange technology that provides Oxygen Deficit, a non-invasive respiratory impairment severity measurement and surrogate for the ...

In the lungs, this would reduce the volume of the gases that could be exchanged – that’s “bad news both for people with respiratory problems and healthy people”, says Thompson.

Lung function tests play a major role in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic ...

At 24 weeks, treated patients demonstrated lower St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire scores (baseline, 51.3 vs. 24 weeks, 44.2), signaling better health, and greater 6-minute walk distance ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba identified a previously unconfirmed gas exchange threshold in rats and demonstrated that this threshold, together with the lactate threshold, serves as an ...
